I'll say it again - I have NO problems with Kadee, Walthers or SHS couplers
interchanging with each other nor do they exhibit ANY unusual uncoupling
problems with the craft magnet uncouplers I use, or coupling problems, either,
and I do a LOT of switching, both freight AND passenger.
That is WITHOUT modifying the height of the uncoupling pin, although I do have
to increase the radius a bit with needle-nose pliers, occasionally. I suspect,
however, this may be due more to a bit of a bind in the moving coupler parts
than uncoupling pin height.
